we want to keep the politicians out in the
cold in the matter Of determination, the
government had best not give them an
opening by itself taking hold of it. There
is 40 way of keeping the American people
apart-Jhei tide has set that way and the
only way perfect union can be retarded
is by mistakes that give such politicians
as Fairchild and Foraker an opportunity
to get the public ear with their nantes
toes. Flags, swords, and other relics Of
the war have been returned by organiza-
tions and individual combatants on both
sides before to-day. amid the happiest
and most patriotic surroundings--the re-
storation by the 5th Virginia of the colors
of the 2Sth New Y ork at the home of the
latter, is one that is still fresh in the
minds Of the people and was. we believe.
the pioneer of similar events. ALI such
have grown out of the patriotism of the
individual members of the respective Or
CARNATIONS, and, after all, that is the soil
which will give the surest and most per-
| manent growth.
AS for the President he has made mis-
take and been manly enough to promptly
correct it. AS for the Southern States
| they have not asked for these flags; never
expected to get them after they had been
| fairly captured in the field, and have no use
| for them if the return IS to be objected to
| by single soldier of the Union army
| A stand of captured colors is nothing to
| be proud Of when they are our own
| colOrs. AS for the brave dead WHO fought
under them. we have them here at home,
their bodies tenderly cared for, and their
| heroism written on enduring monuments,
and that sacred duty ended, the South has
done. The explosion of wrath against the
-Confederates now resounding through
the Grand Army Posts of the North for
something they neither suggested nor de-
| sired, is something that these old soldiers
| will be heartily ashamed of when thew
come to themselves.
While the South has, as we have said,
had nothing whatever to do with this
matter, she fully appreciates the generous
and patriotic motives which animated
Gen. Drum, Secretary Endlcott, and
| President Cleveland. From her stand
| point of what love of country and coun-
trymen is in the year 1887, she thinks the
Grand Army of the Republic missed a
great opportunity by not holding meet
ings and appointing committees of vete-
rams to take home the captured Confed-
crate flags, who on their way would have
passed committees of veterans from ex-
| Confederate Associations going on SINH
| lar errand with Union banners. 1t would
have been very patriotic and becoming
exchange between two bodies of Ameri-
cans once engaged in gigantic war. But
the present movement for it seems to have
been untimely, and so we all must wait.
In the meantime the South has something
else to think about besides flags and
Fairchilds and Forakers-we have big
rich country and are busy developing it by
hard work. While thus building up the
country in practical way, she must leave
to those at the n orth who have the leisure
and the disposition, the management Of
the flag furry and all kindred side
shows.

No Governor of Virginia that we ca1
remember, without regard to his politics,
has made looking after the colored citi
zens so much of speciality, as has Cover
nor Lee. His conduct towards the coloreo
troops at Cleveland'5 Inauguration Whei
he made a place for them II his own line
of troops; his standing up for the Virginia
colored troops in the matter of their GO
ing TO the National Encampment with tbs
other troops, and his appearance at ever
public occasion of interest to them, seem
to indicate that as Governor Of Virginia
he proposes to look after Virginians of all
c0lors. When he came to make his speech
to the graduates of the colored Normal
school at Richmond, Monday night, the
immense colored audience greeted him by
rising with loud cheers. At the Peters
burg colored Normal school commence
ment, he was present with the Superinten-
dent of Public Education and Attorney
General. The Governor delivered the
diplomas to the graduating class thero
and in his address said:
sYou go forth as educators. Let the
community and the State feel your power
and your influence. Some one has aid
''duty" is the matchiess word of our lam
guage. Let duty be your watchword.-
Appreciate your duty to yourselves, to

have been, in large measure by its munifi-
cence. you will not forget its claims upon
you. 1t will watch your course Ill life with
peculiar interest, glad of your success,
disappointed should you fail, but there
can be in your case, trained as you have
been, no such word as failure. The board
OF education and the members of the board
of visitors will see to it in their official Ca
pacity that no detriment is done you

Hardly had the the telegraph flashed this
circular through the country, than the
posts of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie at the North were on fire with indigna-
ton. The Commander-in-Chief Of that
organization, Gen. Fairchild, made a
speech in New York in which he made
the shocking invocation: MAY God palsy
the hand that wrote the order. May God
palsy the brain that conceived it, and may
God palsy the tongue that dictated it -
Gov. Foraker of Ohio, who is well remenl-
bered by our people, said in an interview
that the flags should not be returned.

of the age.' Gov. Rusk of Wisconsin.

ST have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally presented to
me the action of your department directing
letters to be addressed to the Governors of all
the States offering to return, if desired, to the
loyal States the Union flags captured during
the war of the rebellion by the Confederate
forces and afterwards recovered by govern
ment troops, and to the Confederate States
the flags captured by the Union forces, all of
which for many years have been packed in
boxes and stored in the cellar and attic of tbe
War Department I am of the opinion that
the return of the flags IN the manner tbus
contemplated is not authorized by existino
law nor justified az an executive act re-
quest therefore, that no further steps be talran
in the matter except to examine and INVENT

their preservation. Any direction as IN the
